I'm constantly aware of nature around me.The simplicity of pure colours and clean lines in a landscape influences my work. The changing colours of the seasons in the orchards, vineyards and wheat fields; the fresh green in spring leaves; the shades of green and blue of the waves as they break on the rocks around our coastline and the brightness of the Namaqualand flowers in spring, all constantly keep me in touch with nature and never stop to amaze and inspire me.
